I think the reason for the moves by Tallon are simply to tear the team down before he builds them back up. Through a series of trades he has managed to acquire several - not sure how many - draft picks in the first three rounds of the 2011 draft. This follows the 2010 draft in which Tallon drafted 3 players in the top 25.
He is willing to start from scratch, more or less, with this team and mold them in his image. What that is, and if it is a reasonable facsimile of the Chicago Blackhawks team he left a few years ago, I'm not really sure.
The team looks to be on a similar path as his previous team in that they will most likely be a bottom 5 or bottom 10 team for some years to come. Whether that translates into a Toews or Kane-like player be picked in upcoming drafts to lead the team to the Stanley Cup remains to be seen and won't be answered for some years.
Considering the quantity and quality of draft picks that have already been chosen and will be chosen in the upcoming drafts, I would expect some of these picks to become, at the very least, good NHL players. The sheer number of draft picks would suggest that.
At the very least, Tallon should be setting this team on course for consecutive playoff appearances for the first time in over a decade. Young players (within their first 8 years) after all, are cheaper than older ones in the sense that they produce more value on the dollar than an older unrestricted free agent.
